I don't know how to tell my mum. Or if I even should.

I just don't feel like labels define me at all, but I'm anxious to tell people and ask to be referred to as they. I'm scared people will judge me or not take me seriously. I'm scared of whether or not my family will accept it or just roll their eyes and consider it some lefty queer artsy fad. ]]> 2022-11-16 18:46:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jw106305411_1/theshelf/wish/2387131236 jw106305411_1 https://padlet.com/jw106305411_1/theshelf/wish/2387165405 i want to explore kink but i'm scared to tell my boyfriend in case it freaks him out and he leaves me - she/her 23]]> 2022-11-16 19:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jw106305411_1/theshelf/wish/2387165405 jw106305411_1 https://padlet.com/jw106305411_1/theshelf/wish/2387168234 I want to be a good ally to women but I don't know how.
